About Amanda

Amanda Evans Powell is a licensed clinical social worker in Maine who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She has sixteen years of professional experience and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions.

She sees attention and focus concerns commonly labeled as ADHD and offers concrete strategies for memory and concentration. Amanda also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship and family tensions, parenting challenges, and work-related stress.

Background and approach

Her approach is grounded in real-life problem solving rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all plans. Amanda uses client-centered methods to listen first, then tailors tools to each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Mindfulness techniques are offered to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Amanda works at a comfortable pace and helps set clear small goals between meetings.

She supports people as they try new habits and notice what works. Her background includes many years working directly with clients in varied settings before and after earning her master’s degree. Amanda holds the Maine license LCSW LC12159 and continues to build skills that help people manage stress, build self-worth, and navigate change.

Approaches That Fit Your Life and Schedule

Amanda draws on client-centered therapy to build sessions around each person’s priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to find what matters most and what should come next.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying out new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and problems with motivation or self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amanda will work with each person to mix methods and adjust techniques based on needs, goals, and comfort level rather than sticking to a single formula.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video calls let people talk face-to-face from home, phone sessions offer a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging provide flexible ways to check in between meetings. These formats help people stay consistent with therapy while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
